Alright, so I'm trying to play SC II, but it's very frustrating because I have clue as to what resources I have currently allocated because it's cutoff. It seems like the HUD can't fit on my screen no matter what resolution I switch it to. Anyone have any ideas on what I should do? (This is the only game where it happens with by the way.

This is the result of overscan, an issue that is related to using a TV rather than its size. Most video card drivers have the ability to "tweak" the resolution so that it fits properly.

He's gonna have to go into his nvidia control panel or Catalyst control center and change the settings to fix the issue.

While he's having this issue in SC2, it's a Windows configuration issue relating to his video card settings.

I'm confused here, does anyone know what to do? Everything else runs perfectly fine, I was playing Just Cause 2 and Metro 2033 w/ no issues whatsoever.

Yes, you need to use the control panel for your video card drive to adjust the resolution of your desktop to fit your TV. Once you do that this resolution will be selectable from within most games.
